--------------------------------------------------

  
  So to summarize, if you use a different device for your `CommitLogDirectory` it needn't be large, but it should be fast enough to receive all of your writes. Then, use one or more devices for `DataFileDirectories` and make sure they are both large enough to house all of your data, and fast enough to satisfy your reads and to keep up with flushing and compaction.
  
- As covered in MemtableSSTable, compactions can require up to 100% of your in-use space temporarily in the worst case, free on a single volume (that is, in a data file directory).  So if you are going to be approaching 50% or more of your disks' capacity, you should raid0 your data directory volumes.
